Experimental observations of topologically guided water waves within non-hexagonal structures
Mehul P. Makwana, Nicolas Laforge, Richard V. Craster +4
We investigate symmetry-protected topological water waves within a strategically engineered square lattice system. Thus far, symmetry-protected topological modes in hexagonal syste…
Observations of symmetry induced topological mode steering in a reconfigurable elastic plate
Kun Tang, Mehul P. Makwana, Richard V. Craster +1
We experimentally investigate the valley-Hall effect for interfacial edge states, highlighting the importance of the modal patterns, between geometrically distinct regions within a…
Manipulating Topological Valley Modes in Plasmonic Metasurfaces
Matthew Proctor, Paloma A. Huidobro, Stefan A. Maier +2
The coupled light-matter modes supported by plasmonic metasurfaces can be combined with topological principles to yield subwavelength topological valley states of light. We give a…
Novel topological beam-splitting in photonic crystals
Mehul P. Makwana, Richard Craster, Sebastien Guenneau
We create a passive wave splitter, created purely by geometry, to engineer three-way beam splitting in electromagnetism in transverse electric polarisation. We do so by considering…
Tunable three-way valley Hall energy-splitter: venturing beyond graphene-like structures
Mehul P. Makwana, Gregory J. Chaplain
Strategically combining four structured domains creates the first ever three-way topological energy-splitter; remarkably, this is only possible using a square, or rectangular, latt…
